Thats a good idea, or you could use a 1 inch block of starboard or wood as a spacer, but surely someone makes 15" ones.

15" are hard to find and it seems like the most needed i found a stainless kit at a local marina that was cut to fit, they measured 20" and i just cut to fit my app. they didn't cost as much as i feared, only $27.50 plus tax for the set.

Idea

This is what I did use Bow Rail tubes , and stainless bimini attachments it will screw directly into the existing support on the windshield end no mod required and attach to the dashboard solid and strong.

Yes my windshield is ice over in Orlando as the Floridians will say, I am from up north I call it a real case of morning dew.

 

[reelapeelin]

Skools and Mack have got the deal there!!...those both look GREAT!!...Hard to decide which one of those two to go with??...

 

[tanker1025]

Great idea with the bow rails think I will do that it looks good and stable
